In the month of November I will begin my journey of writing a novel in thirty days. The goal is to reach 50,000 words by the end of the month. Yes, this is a short goal for a novel. However, the point is to throw words on the page non-stop. The recommendation is to write like crazy with no editing. After the end of the November, I can go back and slice out what I don't need or add more substance where required. This is indeed going to be a crazy month. I need to do this so I know that I can!
I'll try not to be disappointed if I don't reach 50,000 words. However, having that goal is a good to keep me going. Making a habit of writing daily and producing a workable product is what is most important. I am sure I will have a lot to learn from National Novel Writing Month.
Since mid October I have attempted to prepare for this marathon by writing down a basic outline and details of the fantasy world I will be creating. My first novel took me three years to complete with no pre-planning. I don't have that luxury this time around. It's time to go crazy now. Let the creativity begin!
